will not likely hit iran itself, given the president's deep concerns over the war escalating. mr. president, do you hold iran responsible for the death of those three americans? >> i do hold them responsible in the sense that they're supplying the weapons to the people who did it. i don't think we need a wider war in the middle east. that's not what i'm looking for. >> reporter: the u.s. did strike facilities in syria, used by iran's revolutionary guard, back in november. a facility believed to be providing weapons and funding to the militant groups in iraq and syria. one of the iranian-backed groups under suspicion tonight, kata'ib hezbollah, claims it's suspending attacks on u.s. forces in the region, but the pentagon saying, "actions speak louder than words." >> i don't think we could be any more clear that we have called on the iranian proxy groups to stop their attacks. they have not. and so we will respond in a time and manner of our choosing.

>> reporter: president biden today speaking with the families of the fallen soldiers. 46-year-old sergeant william rivers, 23-year-old sergeant breonna moffett, and 24-year-old sergeant kennedy sanders. the president expressing sorrow for their deaths and gratitude for their service. today, moffett and sanders posthumously promoted to the rank of sergeant. and tonight, our faith abubey speaking with the family of breonna moffett. who was on her first deployment. her mother francine describing the moment military officials told her her daughter was dead. >> he looked at me, and he said, "i'm sorry, ms. moffett, but breonna was killed this morning in a drone attack." and i'm like -- my baby. my baby. you can't take my baby.

she's gone. she's not coming back. when i see her again, it's in her casket. she's not walking through my front door. >> david: so extraordinarily painful to hear from that mother tonight. martha with us live from amman, jordan. and we know that president biden will attend the dignified transfer of those soldiers back to dover on friday. in the meantime, what more are you learning about the coming american response to this deadly attack? >> reporter: david, even though the president is hesitant to strike iran itself during this planned multi-day bombing barrage, a u.s. official tells me tonight that iranian assets outside of iran could be targets, and most of the strikes, said the official, will be inside syria. david? >> david: martha raddatz traveling to the region, live from amman tonight. martha, we appreciate it. back here at home tonight, and to the crisis on the border. for months, republicans putting pressure on president biden to

do something. and now with senate democrats and republicans close to the first potential bipartisan deal on immigration in years, tonight, house republicans say they're not interested. instead, moving forward in their effort to impeach secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas. rachel scott on the hill again tonight. >> reporter: for months, republicans have been calling for a tough new immigration law. president biden says he's willing to compromise, and the senate is closing in on a bipartisan deal. but tonight, house republicans taking a very different approach. not interested in the senate's solution, they're moving instead to impeach homeland secretary alejandro mayorkas over his handling of the border. >> we cannot allow this man to remain in office any longer. >> reporter: democrats calling it ludicrous. >> the sham impeachment of secretary mayorkas is a baseless political stunt by extreme maga republicans. >> reporter: republicans say mayorkas has willfully and systematically refused to enforce immigration laws, accusing him of making false statements to congress that the border is secure.

mayorkas defiant, saying he has testified in front of congress 27 times, more than any other biden cabinet official, writing, "you claim that we have failed to enforce our immigration laws. that is false." democrats call it the height of hypocrisy for republicans to move ahead with impeachment right in the middle of negotiations over the immigration bill. >> you are sitting here right now trying to impeach a secretary of homeland security for neglecting his duties literally while he is trying to perform his duties and negotiate legislation. >> reporter: today, president biden urging lawmakers to give him the tools he needs to control the crisis at the border. >> i've done all i can do. just give me the power. >> reporter: but house speaker mike johnson is being urged to kill the bill by donald trump, who doesn't want biden to score a win in an election year. and johnson tells me if what

he's heard about the senate compromise is true, it's dead on arrival. is that a nonstarter for republicans in the house? >> we have a responsibility, a duty to the american people, to insist that the border catastrophe is ended, and just trying to whitewash that or do something for political purposes that it appears that may be is not going to cut it. >> reporter: again, david, donald trump has been urging republicans to reject any border deal. he wants to campaign on immigration in the general election. tonight, speaker of the house mike johnson rejecting any idea that he's trying to kill this bill to help trump's campaign, calling it all absurd, david. >> david: rachel scott following it all on the hill. rachel, thank you. we do have dramatic surveillance images coming in tonight, israeli commandos disguised, storming a hospital in the west bank. you can see the armed israeli commandos right here raiding that hospital. tonight, who they claim they were after in the hospital, and james longman reporting from israel for us. >> reporter: dramatic video tonight of an israeli undercover

raid on a hospital in the occupied west bank. the palestinian authority releasing this security footage. you can see israeli special forces disguised as medical staff, one dressed as a doctor, another as a palestinian woman, and another with a wheelchair. brandishing their weapons, they move quickly. the idf said they targeted three palestinian fighters, one of them a member of hamas who they claim were planning further terror attacks in the immediate future, using that hospital as a hiding place. the bloody aftermath confirming at least one of the men was killed in his hospital bed. benjamin netanyahu today praising the operation. but many are now raising concerns over israel's tactics, calling them a potential war crime. >> israel, of course, has the right to carry out operations to bring terrorists to justice, but those operations need to be conducted in full compliance with international humanitarian law. >> even if they were clear targets, clearly misusing the hospital, it would still be a war crime to present as a civilian or a medic to get close to them. >> reporter: this, the same day hamas says they're reviewing the latest cease-fire deal and the release of the more than 100

hostages, as u.s. officials confirm to abc news the framework includes at least a six-week pause in hostilities during which the remaining civilian hostages would be returned in phases, with the elderly, women, and any children released first. they then discussed the return of all idf soldiers, potentially extending the pause and getting some much-needed aid into gaza, where hamas says more than 26,000 have now been killed. >> david: so, let's bring in our foreign correspondent james longman tonight, and james, how close are they to a hostage teal here? >> reporter: well, david, it does feel like we're on the edge of something. prime minister netanyahu did say today he would rule out some of hamas' key demands. is that part of the war of words or are we really going to see a deal in the coming days? david? >> david: james longman in tel aviv tonight. james, thank you. tonight, several tourists are dead and a boat captain under arrest after a boat carrying more than a dozen tourists sinks off cancun. four tourists did not survive this. authorities say the boat was returning to cancun in rough seas. a wave throwing passengers into the water.

the boat then sinking. nearby boats rescuing eight other people. several passengers still missing tonight. the victims all mexican nationals. tonight, the captain has been arrested while this investigation is now under way. back here in the u.s., and to the dramatic new testimony tonight in the trial of the michigan mother, jennifer crumbley, charged in her son's deadly school attack. what she can be heard saying in the police car about her son after the shooting. here's trevor ault. >> reporter: while jennifer crumbley sat in a squad car outside her home in the hours after learning her son had opened fire at oxford high school, she told an investigating office her son was a good kid, and she and her husband were not bad people. >> this is -- like, i just -- my son just ruined his life. i'll probably never see him again. >> reporter: crumbley, now on trial for involuntary manslaughter, telling the officer everything had been normal when her son went to school and he had, quote, no mental issues. >> i don't get it. i don't get what happened. >> reporter: inside the house, detectives discovering these gun range targets with bullet holes

on the walls of the shooter's bedroom. an empty bottle of whiskey next to the then 15-year-old's bed. in the master bedroom, an open gun case next to an empty box of ammunition for a .9-millimeter handgun. and inside the tv stand, two other weapons found locked in a gun case, prosecutors noting the code. >> and what was it? >> it was 0-0-0. >> reporter: crumbley telling the investigator she'd been at the school the morning of the attack for an emergency meeting with the shooter's counselor, then returned to work. her son opened fire less than two hours later. jennifer crumbley's attorney again questioned why school officials didn't do more. today, the dean of students testified the parents didn't tell them they had bought their son a gun, which would have changed the school's response. david? >> david: trevor ault on this case again tonight. thank you, trevor. we're going to turn next this evening to what could be a major medical breakthrough. elon musk announcing his company neuralink has successfully implanted a chip into a human brain. patients would use the chip to

conversation with her husband through a mind-controlled avatar. >> i was thinking about running to the store. >> what time will you be home? >> reporter: and swiss researchers used artificial intelligence and brain and spine implants to help this man, paralyzed in a motorcycle accident, to walk again. experts say it's still a long road to prove the success and safety of neuralink's device and others like it before it could be approved for consumers, but david, this is a beacon of hope for people living with paralysis, from things like stroke or a.l.s., or brain or spinal cord injury. >> david: those were remarkable examples you shared with us, will. thank you. the wife able to communicate with her husband, really something. will reeve tonight. thank you, will. tonight, an alarming discovery. police in wichita, kansas, have found the stolen bronze statue of jackie robinson. the statue, of course, honoring the baseball icon, taken from a public park last week. firefighters responding to a trash fire, finding it in pieces and burning. authorities say the statue cannot be salvaged. police insist there will be arrests. donations, by the way, already coming in for a new statue.
